Lyon will be looking to extend their lead over Nancy as they face up to struggling Lorient at home in the midweek round of fixtures in the French league

Lyon have come back into their world class standards after an indifferent start where they struggled both in home and Europe. However, the latter part of 2007 saw Lyon overcome a dodgy start to establish a big lead at the summit of Ligue 1 and also secure their place in the next round of the Champions League with a fine victory away at the Ibrox against Rangers. Despite losing Eric Abidal to Barcelona and Florent Malouda to Chelsea in the summer, they have found adequate replacements in the tank in the form of upcoming French sensation Karim Benzema and look formidable opponents both at home and Europe.

Lyon will hope to start 2008 better than they did 2007. Last season, their performance levels dipped after the winter break, although they had a much bigger lead at the top of the table then and that resulted in an early exit from the Champions League at the hands of AS Roma. Lyon have now won six consecutive domestic titles on a trot and are firm favourites to make it a record breaking seven this time around.

Lorient are currently rooted in midtable mediocrity and with an extremely tight midtable around them, they know that their fortunes could drastically swing up or down with results in the matches to come. Lorient are just five points away from fourth placed Valencieness and have a real chance of overhauling them and making a surprise dash for the European places if they can get their form on track. Lorient coach Christian Gourcuff has an almost fully-fit squad at his disposal with the exception of Hamed Namouchi who is still absent with a knee injury and will be hoping to create a big upset this time around at the Stade De Gerland
